We continue to build on the idea that white Christian nationalism is, was and has always been the foundation of this country. To suggest otherwise is to be both ahistorical and absent in our politics today. The violent response to a concept so utterly innocuous such as “Black lives matter” should tell us everything.

| 0:26.5 | hey man you know there's nothing that we lack |

| 0:57.3 | So let me start by explaining where I'm at right now and what's going on in my head and kind of with UNFTR generally. |
| 1:04.6 | We are having a bit of a moment. |
| 1:08.0 | Things are popping off in multiple places and it's leading to a bit of chaos, |

| 1:43.7 | projects and processes. We're |
| 1:45.4 | building out our network of collaborators, keeping up the momentum on Midas Touch, developing new |
| 1:50.2 | formats on UNFTR like the advent of the Monday on the record YouTube drop. The two newsletters |
| 1:56.0 | are in a good place, and 99 is distributing our content daily on Blue Sky, Instagram, Facebook, Discord, and |
| 2:02.7 | YouTube shorts. So here's where my head's at. On October 9th, UNFTR turns five. Five years, |
